According to Le Matin and other news sources 151 skiers were stranded when a ski lift's braking system froze, and were evacuated by helicopter. Anyone from here involved?

Been there, done that. Colder than -2 too. To add insult to injury, my chair stopped just above a restaurant chalet, so I could smell first hand the crispy fries and suave steaks.

We were in Grindelwald yesterday, on our way up the Jungfraujoch, and just saw the helicopters flying around. So, no tales of derring-do from me.

Wait, I almost froze my fingers off while trying to take pictures similar to the one in Cata1yst's current avatar. Does that count?
